We just backup user files and system configuration files. We
do things a bit differently here. Basically I mirror our cobalts to
the 'backup' servers we use. Rsync is so smooth and fast one can
afford to keep a current copy of a client's site on another server.
If one the live servers fails I bring the backup server up and we
then take our time getting it ready to run again. The client uses
the gui for a bit but they're back online in just a few moments and
that's a reasonable trade off.
